Arc'teryx Hercules Hooded Fleece Jacket - Men's

Item #ARC0719 | 91 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great jacket despite being made in China

By Ranked #2455 - Men's Fleece Jackets October 31, 2009

In terms of warmth, this jacket is fantastic, and I could not be happier with its insulative properties. Water also beads off its surface, although I'm not sure if this is from a treatment Arc-teryx applied that wears off or if it is inherent in the fabric. My only issue is that the stiff material surrounding the zippers is too long and when I sit down, they slightly dig into my rib cage.

In case anyone is wondering, this jacket is MADE IN CHINA. Arc-teryx has an absolutely lame explanation on their website about how it doesn't matter where their stuff is made, so they make no effort to disclose it. Reading this made me feel like they think their customers are idiots who can't make informed decisions.
